The New England Revolution concluded their Canadien road trip with a whimper as they were defeated by CF Montreal.
New England boasted a starting XI with some fresh faces. Esmir Bajraktarevic got his first MLS start. This comes after the midfielder made his MLS debut against Toronto on Wednesday night.
Jon Bell and A.J. DeLaGarza also entered the starting XI after long spells on the sidelines. This is Bell’s first start since July 16 and DeLaGarza’s first start since June 26. Bruce Arena also added another wrinkle, deploying DeLaGarza as a midfielder.
It was also a milestone night as Tommy McNamara made his 200th MLS appearance and Matt Polster earned his 125th MLS start.
